Jennifer Lopez and this Versace dress are the reason we have Google Images

G oogle Images was created after the 2000 Grammy Awards. Why? According to Eric Schmidt it was because of J.Lo and her green Versace dress pictured above. Schmidt explains this in the following passage:

“Jennifer Lopez wore a green dress that, well, caught the world’s attention. At the time, it was the most popular search query we had ever seen. But we had no surefire way of getting users exactly what they wanted: J.­Lo wearing that dress. Google Image Search was born.”

Thank you Jennifer for looking stunning that evening. You continue to amaze me with how you stay so beautiful and forever young. Thank you for inspiring something as great as Google Images. It’s a great resource, and we owe your beauty and Mr. Versace’s brilliance for this wonderful resource.
